[ Dainsleif wonders a little at that. Not because he doubts it, but because he is actually glad that they had not run into one another in the Chasm of all places. While he doesn't have any worries about Kaeya's combat ability due to hearing enough rumors while in Mondstadt, and knowing he possesses more than just swordplay, given the kind of machinations present in that area, it could've been troublesome for a first meeting.
